So… I think this is an well-made game, a fun and varied experience that really makes you think about online dating, but it left me mostly with negative emotions after playing. Honestly my expectation when asked for a name was that I’d get to roast the ex with Annie, or that I’d meet a character who “accidentally” has the same name.

It’s not fun when your recent and very unpleasant memories get bent into a fictional world that doesn’t know anything about your experience. I made the mistake of giving the ex a real name and regretted it a lot. One thing that really rubbed me the wrong way is that one of the “good” endings you can get is with an ex.

The characters in Tender won’t give you that. But you can imagine that this is not an experience for someone who is looking for cuddles and affirmation. It is a really fascinating concept and the game is written in a fun way that makes it very realistic and colorful. It really goes deep into all the ways people just don’t click, relationships are messy, and most connections you make on dating apps don’t work out or don’t go anywhere. Of course, it’s my bad that I didn’t notice in the description that this game was more than just a dating sim. I got the game after a rough breakup and was hoping to date some cute aliens. Looking forward to how they may add to this game in the future, but right now it's def worth the price for an entertaining story and endearing characters. There's also a high replayability, I've replayed a couple times now and you can not only go after different people but also play around with different conversations and see how responses might change. Not only is this also realistic, but those interactions can be just as fun and entertaining as the gems you find on the app. I also like how characters are a mixed bag, some are pretty much dead ends or the conversation can't go anywhere. The pacing is slow but I think it really adds to the story in the sense of giving the app a realistic feel to it. Oh, I also don't like that George always unmatchs bc I love the over detailed ramblings and I want him to stay :'(

If you're someone who forgets things or has a unstable schedule the dates can be easy to miss sometimes too. The few things I would say I maybe don't like are the amount of profiles without pictures, it's hard to tell if those are supposed to be just dud accounts or if they'll be filled in later or what.
